| Abstract: |
This electrically driven children's vehicle has a vehicle body 1 provided with front wheels 2, rear wheels 3, and a motor 8 for driving the rear wheels 3. The vehicle body 8 has a clutch lever 7 attached thereto, which clutch lever 7 is used to turn on and off the transmission of torque from the motor 8 to the rear wheels 3. A forward travel pedal 14 and a backward travel pedal 15 for rotating the rear wheels in the forward and backward direction, respectively, are mounted on the vehicle body 1 at a position where they can be operated by the foot, and these pedals are positioned relative to each other so that the forward travel pedal is disposed forwardly of the backward travel pedal. Further, the vehicle body 1 is provided with a motor drive circuit 20 adapted to rotate the motor 8 in the forward or backward direction when the forward travel pedal 14 or backward travel pedal 15 is pressed and to stop the rotation of the motor 8 when both the forward and backward travel pedals 14 and 15 are pressed at the same time.

What is claimed is:
1. An electrically driven children's vehicle comprising: a vehicle body having front wheels, rear wheels, a steering wheel for steering said front wheels, and a seat formed on top of said vehicle body, an electric motor mounted in said vehicle body for rotatively driving said front or rear wheels, said electric motor having respective power input terminals, a clutch lever attached to said vehicle body for turning on and off the transmission of torque from said motor to the front or rear wheels, a forward travel pedal means operable for rotating said front or rear wheels in the forward direction, a backward travel pedal means operable for rotating said front or rear wheels in the backward direction, said forward and backward travel pedal means being attached to the vehicle body and positioned relative to each other so that a forward travel pedal is located forwardly of a backward pedal at a place where said pedals can be operated by a foot, and a motor drive circuit including circuit switch means responsive to said forward and backward pedal means so that when said forward or backward travel pedal means is depressed, said motor rotates forwardly or backwardly, respectively, and so that said motor is stopped when the two pedals are simultaneously depressed, said circuit switch means comprising forward and backward travel changeover switches having common terminals connected to said electric power terminals of said electric motor, said changeover switches having normally closed contact means connected together, and normally open contact means also connected together, an electric power source connected between said normally closed contact means and said normally open contact means of said two changeover switches, and means operatively arranged between said forward and backward travel pedal means and the respective one of said contact means for keeping said normally closed contact means closed when said forward or backward travel pedal is not depressed, and for changing one of said contact means from a normally closed state to the normally open state when one of said pedals is depressed for supplying power to said electric motor from said electric power source.
